Why war happens in our species........

[Brian37]

So, how do we get the ones who can do this sort of thing to get all enlightened all of a sudden  without killing (pick one) most of them, all of them, all of them and everyone that agrees with them but wouldn't do that sort of thing unbidden ???

UGGGGG, I was just on twitter with someone making this argument.

I get falsely accused of saying "do nothing" or " Coddle their insecurities and never pick on Islam".

Twitter sucks because you cant make a detailed argument.

So here goes.

YES GO AFTER BAD IDEOLOGY, PICK ON THE KORAN AND MO ALL YOU WANT.......

YES, go after violent individuals YES YES YES......

But, in doing that there are still billions of humans who hold that label. Whatever we respond with cannot involve an "all or nothing" approach. It can be a very slippery slope that leads to the same type of cruelty that was done to Native Americans and blacks and Jews.

There is no blanket solution. I do agree with pointing out the bad claims that lead to their acts of cruelty. I do agree with challenging Islam to face it's collective bad climate. But I will not risk in doing that becoming a monster myself. Humans will always be individuals to me first, even if I am going after bad claims and bad climates.

You cant simply murder billions of people, and if nobody is claiming that, then we have to pick our battles.
